On May 17th my wife will be leaving on a two week mission trip to Kenya, Africa. I would like to petition all of your prayers for the team; please pray for protection, opportunities to share God's love and anything esle the Spirit leads you to.

Please read her following support letter for more information on the trip.

Children are precious in the eyes of Christ and they are the future of our world. God has opened a door for me to share the love of the Father with his special children! I'm writing to share with you that I'm blessed to have the opportunity to be part of a mission team that is going to Africa.

Calvary Chapel Saint Petersburg is sending a short-term mission team to Nairobi, Kenya to support missionary Lori Ogle with SIM (Serving in Missions) working with children's outreach programs. This includes caring for children affected by AIDS in their communities, orphanages and hospitals.

After seeking the Lord's will, I believe He has confirmed that He does want me to take part in this trip. I love serving the Lord and His people as it is truly a privilege and an honor. I am looking forward to this trip with eager anticipation as it is my first involvement with a mission trip.

The team will be leaving on May 17th and returning on May 30th. Our team very much needs and welcomes your prayers. Please pray for the Lord to give us wisdom, unity, strength, and that He will guard us with His shield of protection during our travels and while in Kenya. Please ask the Lord to prepare our hearts to minister to the people of Kenya. Lastly, I ask for prayer that the Lord will lead our entire trip and that we will be responsive to His call.
